Seriously... there is no magic trick that all the pros use to get that pro sound. It's about having years of experience, loads of talent and hopefully a studio that doesn't limit you. Especially with things like "groove" or "funk" or "swing" that can't really be measured.
Instead of looking for the magic trick you should look how the different sounds, rhythms and melodies interact. The groove is often about the way all the drums and the bass work together. A little bit of swing quantization will help but personally I prefer to just place the notes where I want them to be, instead of letting the computer move them about to create an artificial groove. Having a few channels worth of decent eq and compression will also help a lot, so that you have loads of control over the dynamics of the groove. 4 channels of compression should be enough, one for the kick, one for the snare, one for the hats and one for the bass. The real trick to compression (imho at least) is to eq the sounds correctly before and after the compression.
Hmm, that doesn't help much I suppose. I'm way too tired to do this.

I havn't really spent much time, but if you sample a few bars worth and then bring the wave into logic, you can create a groove template. This is a midy file that you can drop onto any track, it will include velo data as well as all that slight positional data that is apparently so essential (fuck if I get even an ounce of what really makes groove groove) to grooven. If you've the chance, please let us know what happens.

It kind of annoys me how compression adds that little sparkle of professionalism to your tune because it takes you ages to figure it out...itmakes it suitable for an overall sound system...

if you have kick, snare, hats, claps, etc. what sounds receive the swing treatment. this is an essential question i've wondered for ages.
help resolve
cheers
